Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on patients who underwent successful thrombectomy for acute large-vessel occlusions, focusing on how final reperfusion grade may influence outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed 167 patients using the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) scale to categorize reperfusion as complete or incomplete, measuring the effects on functional independence and safety outcomes.
- Results indicate that while IVT showed no overall benefit for functional independence, it significantly helped those with incomplete reperfusion, but did not benefit those with complete reperfusion, with no association found between IVT and increased risk of hemorrhage or mortality.
Background: Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital infection, 90% of affected newborn (NB) are asymptomatic at birth and 6-15% will develop long term sequalae. It is the main etiology of non-genetic sensorineural hearing loss.
Aim: To determine prevalence of CMV in high risk NB.
Ménières disease affects the inner ear and its main symptoms are vertigo, hearing loss and fluctuating aural symptoms. Nowadays, there are many therapeutic alternatives, being the use of intratympanic corticosteroids one that has become popular. To answer this question, we searched in Epistemonikos database, which is maintained by screening multiple databases.
